AI adoption hinges on one thing: trust. But how do you build it—and more importantly, how do you keep it from breaking? In this episode of AI Knowhow, CMO Courtney Baker teams up with CEO David DeWolf and Chief Product & Technology Officer Mohan Rao to unpack the critical security questions every organization should be asking before deploying AI. They break down the evolving attack surface of AI systems—from prompt injection and data poisoning to model inversion - and explain how to evaluate vendors for their trustworthiness and preparedness. Mohan shares a practical checklist for non-technical leaders to vet AI platforms, and David highlights the new responsibilities facing leadership in this AI-first era. Pete Buer kicks things off with AI in the Wild, where he explores Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff's provocative claim that today's CEOs may be the last to lead fully human workforces. With 84% of customer service requests already resolved by AI agents at Salesforce, Pete lays out what this shift means for how companies scale, innovate, and think strategically.

A tech regulation shakeup is on the way with President-elect Donald Trump set to take office in January. Trump has made it clear that he plans to dismantle Biden's AI policies on "day one," aligning himself with those who've pushed back against regulation.

Our guest this week is Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, who says he has never been as excited about anything in his career as he is about the latest developments in artificial intelligence — AI agents that can autonomously reason, plan, and take action on behalf of businesses. Benioff is almost as strong in his negative sentiments toward Microsoft's Copilot. He calls Copilot the second coming of Microsoft's much-maligned "Clippy" Office assistant, and asserts that the Redmond company is giving AI a bad name by disappointing customers with underwhelming results and lax security. We spoke with Benioff in advance of the general availability of the San Francisco company's Agentforce AI technology for sales and service. We also talked about Benioff's ownership of Time magazine, and what that means for his political involvement; and the status of his past pledge to turn Seattle into Salesforce's HQ2.

Subscribe to our newsletter at https://aidaily.us AI Agents Replace Copilots in Generative AI Tech giants like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Oracle are shifting focus from AI copilots to more autonomous AI agents. These agents handle complex tasks independently, but questions remain on how they'll be monetized. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff criticized Microsoft's approach, advocating for more integrated AI solutions.  Survey: 55% of Users Turning Away from Traditional Search Engines A survey by Barry Schwartz shows that 55% of respondents are using traditional search engines like Google less, favoring generative AI tools like ChatGPT. This contrasts with another survey by The Information, which reported a higher figure of 77%. The discrepancy might be due to differences in audience demographics, with Schwartz's poll leaning more toward SEO and search marketing professionals. AI vs. Lawyer: Live Mock Trial to Test AI's Capabilities in Court At the SXSW Sydney event in October 2024, a live mock trial will test whether AI can successfully represent a litigant in court. Using NexLaw's AI tool, one defendant will be supported by AI, while the other will have a human lawyer. The trial will explore whether AI can assist people who lack legal representation. The outcome, voted on by the audience, will offer insights into AI's potential in courtroom settings. Food Bloggers Concerned Over AI-Generated Recipes AI's integration into recipe development, including Apple's latest "Apple Intelligence," has stirred concerns among food bloggers. While AI can conveniently generate meal plans, critics argue that it lacks the human nuance, sensory experience, and cultural connection vital to cooking. Sarah and Kaitlin Leung, creators of The Woks of Life, emphasize that AI can't replicate the deep research and testing involved in crafting recipes. Conversely, Andrew Olson, developer of the AI-powered DishGen, believes AI offers new creativity in cooking without replacing human insight. Are Résumés Becoming Obsolete in the Age of AI? As AI increasingly powers applicant tracking systems and platforms like LinkedIn grow, some job seekers question if résumés are still necessary. Career expert Eli Amdur argues that despite tech advancements, résumés remain critical communication tools, presenting what role a candidate can play in an employer's future. While technology aids in initial screening, decision-makers still prioritize thoughtfully crafted résumés when evaluating candidates for roles.

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff on Thursday demanded San Francisco increase funding for police. His comments came after a new local policy took effect restricting officers from conducting pretext traffic stops, which serve as disguises for investigations into other issues. He urged San Francisco to increase the number of officers it employs, accusing the city of having a force of fewer than 1,400 people. The San Francisco Police Department's data, which includes academy recruits, states it has more than 1,800 sworn officers.

Guest: Sarah Friar, former CEO of NextdoorSarah Friar has worked with some of the top leaders in Silicon Valley, including Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon, Block CEO Jack Dorsey, and most recently Nextdoor founder Nirav Tolia, who just replaced her as CEO in May.

January has raised $40 million to date from notable investors such as Felicis Ventures, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, YouTube co-founder Steve Chen, and former Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer.“One out of three people in America has pre-diabetes, and 90% of them don't know it,” said Hashemi. “And one out of nine people has diabetes, and 20% of those people don't know it. So blood sugar is something we should all be managing, but we just don't know that we should.”While other companies have made headway in understanding biometric sensor data—from heart rate and glucose monitors, for example—January AI has made progress in analyzing and predicting the effects of food consumption itself.Where to find Noosheen Hashemi:• Website: Blood Sugar Monitoring Without A CGM | AI Health App | January AI• LinkedIn(18) Noosheen Hashemi | LinkedIn Where to find Hadi Radwan:• Newsletter: Principles Friday | Hadi Radwan | Substack• LinkedIn: Hadi Radwan | LinkedInIf you like our podcast, please don't forget to subscribe and support us on your favorite podcast players.

Of the different acquisitions with which Jason Leet became involved at ExactTarget of Indianapolis, Indiana, there's little question that the seventh was the most impactful on his finance career. As it turned out, this would also be his last acquisition—or perhaps we should say his last ExactTarget acquisition, given that this time it was ExactTarget itself that was being acquired. In 2013, ExactTarget became not only the largest company that tech wunderkind Salesforce had ever acquired but also the first publicly traded one. Over the next 9 years, Leet would work on more than 40 acquisitions for Salesforce, including an additional four publicly traded firms. What's more, over this period he would lead the finance team that took charge of what he calls Salesforce's “best-in-class M&A machine.” However, turn back the clock to his ExactTarget days, and it's easy to see that for a number of months, Salesforce did indeed flip Leet's world upside down.  “I was involved in some of the diligence, so I was aware of what was going down several months in advance,” explains Leet, who had joined ExactTarget in 2006, as he vividly recalls for us the company's impressive climb upward—along with its disappointing 2007 decision to pull its IPO due to Wall Street's economic collapse. “Never waste a good crisis: Having that IPO door slammed became a pivotal moment in our future success,” comments Leet, who tells us that ExactTarget then turned to private investors for funding, which allowed the company to generously invest in the business at a time when many firms were curtailing their spending.    After consecutive years of impressive revenue growth, ExactTarget went public in 2012, after which Salesforce came knocking on the door with a $2.5 billion deal in 2013.    “Since this was Salesforce's first acquisition of a publicly traded company, there was a sense of being in it together with the Salesforce folks with regard to how this whole thing was going to work,” remarks Leet, who tells us that when word of the deal first surfaced, he fed his enthusiasm for the career chapter that lay ahead by buying a copy of Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff's book Behind the Cloud. ”To me,” he continues, “the acquisition was an opportunity, first, to support the business—but as you go through an integration, it's also a chance to follow different lanes of experience, with an eye toward growing with your different teams.” For Leet, this growth would remain inside the realm of M&A, where his 9 years at Salesforce would be what he describes as always being “fresh,” as he became engaged with the different management teams of the companies that Salesforce acquired and sought out knowledge to help in determining how best to invest in the acquired firm to maximize post-acquisition top-line growth. From the ExactTarget acquisition on forward, Leet tells us, M&A has consistently broadened his view of the role that finance plays in business and exposed to him how often the “people part” is the most time-consuming yet most vital aspect of the success of an acquisition. Leet concludes: “My team and I had this sense of ownership, in that we took personally the success or failure of the acquired companies—and because of this, we were able to step up and play a broader leadership role.” –Jack Sweeney

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff took a vacation to French Polynesia to “detox” himself from gadgets and other digital distractions, the entrepreneur told The New York Times, Business Insider reports – the original piece is behind a paywall. Benioff took a vacation after firing 10 percent of the cloud-based CRM provider's staff. Meanwhile, fintech darling Stripe burned through half a billion dollars in 2022, The Information reports exclusively, as its revenue rose much more slowly than the previous year's pandemic-driven frenzy that saw every business shifting more work online. Notes: Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff took a vacation to French Polynesia to “detox” himself from gadgets and other digital distractions, the entrepreneur told The New York Times, Business Insider reports – the original piece is behind a paywall. Benioff took a vacation after firing 10 percent of the cloud-based CRM provider's staff. “We are so addicted to our devices (at least I am) it's very freeing to leave them all behind for a while!” he texted The Times in a series of interviews. Salesforce workers knew at the beginning of the new year to expect cuts to thousands of jobs, according to Business Insider. On January 4, Benioff announced that Salesforce was planning to cut around 10 percent of its 84,000 staff over the following weeks. Stripe, a global fintech darling, burned through more than $500 million of cash last year as its revenue growth rate fell sharply, The Information reports exclusively, citing people familiar with the matter. The previously undisclosed figures paint a clearer picture of how quickly the payments giant lost steam after a pandemic-fuelled growth frenzy, according to The Information. Stripe's net revenue growth slowed to about 18 percent in 2022 to just over $2.8 billion from roughly 85 percent in 2021, according to the tech news and analysis site. The rest of the story is behind a paywall on The Information's website. A Wall Street Journal report from Jan. 26, offers some perspective and context. The Journal reported at the time that Stripe had approached investors about raising at least $2 billion in fresh cash at a valuation of $55 billion to $60 billion, a sharp decline from its last private fundraising nearly two years ago when it was valued at $95 billion. In some startup funding news in India, Venwiz, a SaaS-enabled marketplace in the Capex and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) services domain, has raised $8.3 million in Series A funding, led by Sorin Investments with participation from previous investors, Accel and Nexus Venture Partners, the Bengaluru company said in a press release. JAFCO Asia, Riverwalk Holdings and Force Ventures also participated in this round, as did several angel investors. The company had earlier raised $3 million in seed funding, bringing the total capital raised to $11.3 million. The funds will be used for product enhancement and team expansion. Venwiz is digitalising capex and industrial services procurement, focusing on the manufacturing industry. Buyers on the demand side are large enterprise clients with manufacturing plants, having industrial services requirements. On the supply side, the companies that offer these industrial services are MSMEs, with a specialised scope of projects such as mechanical, civil, automation, and turnkey jobs. Venwiz has so far onboarded more than 10,000 vendors on its platform across 40+ service categories.

Sign up for Salesforce Business Analyst Tutorial at http://sfbatraining.com/ In today's video, we are going to talk about some salesforce news! One year into the Covid-19 pandemic, Salesforce is rolling out plans to let employees work remotely on a permanent basis. To meet the new needs of its employees, the CRM giant also plans to revamp its iconic office towers. Are we prepared for a permanent switch to remote working? Once it's safe to return to the office, most of Salesforce's employees around the globe will only go into an office one to three days a week, the company said. Employees who don't live near an office, as well as those with roles that don't require an office, will work remotely full time. The new plan is based on employee feedback: After surveying its employees, the company learned that nearly half only wanted to go into an office a few times a month. At the same time, 80% of employees said they wanted to maintain a connection to a physical space. Salesforce has towers around the world, including its San Francisco headquarters, which at 1,070 feet tall is the tallest office building west of the Mississippi. The building opened for business in 2018. To accommodate the new, flexible work plans, Salesforce said it will redesign its workplaces as "community hubs" with collaboration and breakout spaces. Additionally, the company plans to introduce new protocols like at-home wellness attestations, temperature screenings before entry (where applicable), face coverings, regular and frequent deep cleaning, and manual contact tracing. The news coincided with a Salesforce event in Singapore, where Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff declared, "The past is gone." "Everybody keeps asking me what does the future look like...how are we going to create the success we want in the future," he said. "A lot of those answers are right here in Singapore," he said, citing the low number of covid cases. I am sure that you'll agree with me that these are some very good news for salesforce workers. Yet, the main take that I want you to recognize from the news is the fact that there is no better time than right now to start a career with Salesforce. And if you are looking to become a salesforce Business analyst, you can click the link in the description below. See you in the next video and until then keep smiling!

Salesforce buys Slack in a $27.7B megadealAs predicted last week, the Customer Relations Software giant Salesforce has acquired Slack, the workplace communications tool. (A$37.5 billion)This follows years of Slack rejecting offers from Microsoft and Google, who both showed interest in the company Microsoft went on to build Teams, a slack competitor, in house - and has since grown it into somewhat of a Zoom competitor as well. Google has instead incorporated Slack into its Google Workspace tools. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said ““This is a match made in heaven. Together, Salesforce and Slack will shape the future of enterprise software and transform the way everyone works in the all-digital, work-from-anywhere world,”Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield “we share a vision of reduced complexity, increased power and flexibility... Personally, I believe this is the most strategic combination in the history of software, and I can't wait to get going,”So while everyone is putting a positive spin on things, it does seem Slack has hit the ceiling for organic growth, and that made Butterfield, who has been reluctant to sell his baby, come to the table. What does this mean for the free tier of Slack? Will we see communities move to Discord? And is Slack + Salesforce really a competitor to Office 365?

Tech is Giant, Monolithic, and Scary: This week, Paul Ford and Rich Ziademeet with Louise Matsakis to discuss how tech reporting has evolved alongside the hyper-growth of tech companies.

This week we are paying a visit to the Dreamforce IoT Zone. We’ll hear from Doug Merrett and his robot Sparky.  Doug is a Principal Enterprise Architect at Salesforce. Even though it is 2015 and these techniques have been used for decades to build cars and sort parcels for delivery, not everyone makes the connection that the software which they use on their phone or web browser can affect and interact with the physical world, and for me this is really what the IoT Zone at Dreamforce is all about, helping people imagine what is possible and apply what they have learned to their own situation. The technology of IoT has progressed rapidly and has made its way into many products we come into contact with every day. Before we get to Doug and Sparky, we have a tour of the IoT Zone from Pat Patterson.  Pat is Developer Evangelist Architect at Salesforce https://www.linkedin.com/in/metadaddy and he walked and talked me around some of the major products on show which are connected through the new Salesforce IoT cloud.  You can tweet Pat @metadaddy All the technology related zones at Dreamforce on the second floor of the Moscone West building were buzzing and they clearly made an impact on Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff as he gave mention in his Q&A session to both Adam Seligman, Senior VP Developer Relations and to Pat. I really hope that you enjoy this weeks show.  You can subscribe to Technology Flows on iTunes and please feel free to leave feedback on the blog at TechnologyFlows.com or tweet me directly, I am @matmorris
